Using Cruise Control on Hills

on hills depends upon the vehicle
speed, load, and the steepness of
the hills. When going up steep hills,

downhill, the vehicle may
automatically shift to a lower gear
to keep the vehicle's speed down.

higher gear when braking
assistance is no longer required.

manually the cruise control is
disengaged.
